Interpersonal Skills Become Uniquely Valuable as AI Matches Technical Prowess
-
AI can already surpass humans at technical skills like coding and data analysis, so those skills no longer guarantee job security.
-
Interpersonal skills happen between people, which AI cannot truly replicate, so cultivating interpersonal skills gives you an advantage.
-
Key interpersonal skills that AI lacks include emotional intelligence, active listening, adaptability, persuasion, and using power/influence.
-
Despite the need for interpersonal skills, most people lack them, so developing them makes you uniquely valuable.
-
Jobs of the future will require a combination of heart and brain - things like emotional intelligence that AI does not possess.
